they could face a 22% cut in their salary. you do not think that will impact our economy, jobs, and our ability to recover from the recession? we will cut back on army training and maintenance, putting about two-thirds of our active brigade combat teams outside afghanistan and reduced readiness level. we have got to cut back on their training. we will have to cut back on the ability to support the troops who are not in the war zone. we put more stress on those who are in the war zone. we will have to shrink our global operations, with a reduction as much as one-third in our western pacific naval operations. this whole idea about trying to rebalance will be impacted. we will cut the air force flying hours and weapons systems maintenance, putting flying unions below acceptable readiness standards by the end of the fiscal year. this is not a game. this is reality. these steps would seriously damage a fragile american economy and they would degrade our ability to respond to crises precisely at a time of rising instability across t

the wright brothers flew only 22 feet at that time. 18 feet in the air. but they performed a miracle. as a result, only 66 years later, this country put a man on the moon and brought him back. that's who we are. we can do an enormous amount as a people. the wright brothers' father milton inspired his sons by giving them a toy helicopter. he never, ever wanted his two sons, orville and wilbur to fly together for fear that he would lose them. and seven years after the original flight, in 1910, milton gave them permission to fly together. the only time they if did. and it lasted six minutes. now, later that day, orville took his 82-year-old father up into the air. it lasted seven minutes. rising 350 feet at that time. while milton shouted, higher, orville, higher. i think it's a great testament to what our country is about, because in america, we do have higher expectations for our nation, just like milton had higher expectations for his son. since our founding we believe that we could be the best hope to mankind. that hope led generations of immigrants to r
